This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside. Slide out and remove the plastic or foam guard used to secure the compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock. 2. Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts as outlined in the Description of Parts section. INSTALLATION 1. Your refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in. (See the ‘Proper Air Circulation’ section below). 2. Place the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. 3. When moving the refrigerator, never tilt it more than a 45° angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system. 3
SAL7-563 Booklet Salton Compact Refregirator CF-2029_EN VF.qxd 6/28/07 4:46 PM Page 4 4. If the refrigerator has been tilted more than 45°, let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system. 5. Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall outlet (115 volts / 15 amps). DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord as this may result in a shock hazard. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. 6. After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing food into the refrigerator. 7. DO NOT install your refrigerator in any location that is not properly insulated or heated (e.g. garage, etc.). Your refrigerator is not designed to operate in temperatures below 13°C / 55°F. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may cause the refrigerator to perform improperly. 8. Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Any floor unevenness should be corrected. 9. Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas. Use of an Extension Cord Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. 4
SAL7-563 Booklet Salton Compact Refregirator CF-2029_EN VF.qxd 6/28/07 4:46 PM Page 5 Proper Air Circulation To ensure that your refrigerator works at maximum efficiency, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation. The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator unit: Sides 3/4” (19 mm) Back 2” (51 mm) Top 2” (51 mm) Leveling Your Refrigerator 1. Your refrigerator has two leveling legs, which are located in the front corners of your refrigerator. 2. Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended. Door Alignment 1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the screws of the bottom hinge by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. 2. Remove the bottom hinge bracket. 3. Adjust the door or put a spacer in between and then tighten the screws. 4. Replace the bottom hinge bracket. Reversing the Door 1. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the bottom hinge screws by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. Remove the screws and the bottom hinge bracket. 2. Holding the two sides of the door, pull the door down carefully. 3. Loosen and remove the screws on the top hinge bracket with a Phillips-head screwdriver and remove the top hinge bracket. 4. Affix the top hinge bracket onto the screw hole of the opposite side. Insert the screws into the opposite holes and turn in a clockwise direction, but do not over-tighten. 5
SAL7-563 Booklet Salton Compact Refregirator CF-2029_EN VF.qxd 6/28/07 4:46 PM Page 6 5. Align the hole on top of the door with the top hinge bracket. Be sure to keep the door flush and level with the cabinet. 6. Put the bottom hinge bracket on the opposite side of the bottom of the door and tighten the screws, but do not over-tighten. 7. Open and close the door several times and make Ill. 2 sure that the door closes easily but forms a tight seal. Adjust the bottom hinge bracket if the door rubs against the doorframe. Once the door is aligned, tighten the screws on the bottom hinge bracket. HOW TO USE 1. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. 2. Plug the unit into a suitable wall outlet (115 volts / 15 amps). 3. Your refrigerator has one control dial for regulating the temperature. The unit will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. 4. The range of the temperature control knob is from position 1 (warmest) to position 6 (coldest). Initially set the dial to level 4, as this is most suitable for general operation. Be sure to wait for 2-3 hours before placing food within the refrigerator. After 24 hours of use, adjust the temperature level to your desired setting. 5. Turning the temperature control to the OFF position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the refrigerator. 6. If the unit is unplugged, power is turned off, or you experience an electrical outage, wait 3-5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not turn on. 7. If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the temperature control knob by one numerical increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments. 8. The refrigerator has shelves that can be adjusted to different levels that will best suit your food storage needs. 6

To remove or replace a full-width slide-out shelf, gently tilt the shelf up and slide it forward until the shelf has been completely removed. Reverse the process to replace. 10. Your refrigerator is equipped with the convenient can dispenser compartment. Simply load the cans from the top. To dispense a can, simply draw one out from the bottom. CARE AND CLEANING Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in injury or death. 1. Remove all food and shelves. 2. Wipe the inside of the refrigerator and the Door Gasket with a cloth or sponge dampened in a warm water and baking soda solution, 30 ml (2 tbsp) baking soda to 1 litre/quart of water. 3. Wash shelves with mild detergent. 4. The exterior should be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened in mild detergent and warm water. 5. Wring excess water out of the cloth before cleaning any areas that have the controls or electrical parts. 6. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers which can damage or scratch the finish. 7. Clean Door Gaskets every three months. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal. 8. Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from the AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, plug power cord back into the AC outlet. Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you may need to take the proper steps to protect your food. 9. For long vacations or absences (over 3 weeks), unplug the refrigerator and empty all food and beverage contents. Once the refrigerator reaches room temperature, clean and dry the interior and door gaskets. To prevent odour and mold growth, leave the door open slightly so air can circulate inside. 7
SAL7-563 Booklet Salton Compact Refregirator CF-2029_EN VF.qxd 6/28/07 4:46 PM Page 8 Helpful Hints 1. Locate the refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances and out of direct sunlight. 2. Avoid overloading the refrigerator as this forces the cooling system to run longer. 3. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. This helps to maintain optimum refrigerator operating temperature and the quality of your food. 4. To help save energy, reduce door openings and extended searches, remove as many items as required at one time, and close the door as soon as possible. 5. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. 6. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient. 8
